FEBRUARY INSPIRATION DAY 1

I love a good challenge nothing gets me more motivated.  I have no excuse now that the weather has cooled down slightly here in Melbourne and i have at least one child back at school..

Todays inspirations is.

3 Photos, Ink, Ribbon, Chipboard and a Circle..

I have used the HEIDI GRACE URBAN ACRES RANGE..

 

A closer view of my circle cut out using THE ULTRA SHAPE EXPRESS and the CIRCLE TEMPLATE.

To make the flower design behind the the circle photo  

Cut out 10 x 1" size circles using my Ultra shape express and Circle template. If you dont have these you can use the 1' squeeze punch.

 I then turned my photo onto the back and glued the circles down slightly over lapping..  

Then adhere to your page..

Hope you find some Inspiration from our daily Prompts.

Happy Tuesday!

Feeling Sentimental...

I can't believe that my little Boy starts school this Thursday.  It seems like only yesterday he was born..

I know many of you out there remember when Harrison was born.

So I have been feeling very overwhelmed that this little man is off to school so i thought I would whip up a baby layout...

 

He is only 7 days old. First time sleeping in his own little cradle and oh oh saw jaundice..

This BABY range by the ever so talented HEIDI GRACE is just delightful..

I have some of her papers

 Dimentional word stickers

Printed Journal prompts

Glitter alphas and words

 FISKARS THREADING WATER border punch

Spectrum  Alphabets also by Heidi Grace.

Good luck to all the other Mummys and Daddys taking there little ones to School and Kinder for the first time..

 I have also used the Fiskars Chrstmas stamp in the corner.. Then added the little red berries..he!he!

It is never too late to get your Christmas pages started..  I have only just begun doing mine..

Hope everyone is surviving the school holidays..

Take care

Fiskateers meet up at PAPERIFIC

I recently received this pic from Karen.....Fiskateer #2858 ...an American Fiskateer who was in Australia for both business and a holiday during late October.

Karen contacted me via the Fiskateers to see if we could meet up at PAPERIFIC in Melbourne seeing both Sarah Mulder #1105 and myself # 1110 were going to be working there!

Karen and her hubby were an absolute delight to meet......here we are posing for KAREN'S HUBBY......poor thing we had to get him to do about 10 takes.......LOL! So darn funny.....but anyway.......Sarah, Karen and I (Lyn) are standing in front of the Scrapbook City Stand at PAPERIFIC!

I still can't get over the fact that KAREN and her hubby have 7 sons between them..........and I thought I was good having 4 sons.....ROTFL!

Karen was in Melbourne for a medical conference and she snuck out to meet up with us for a few hours.....LOL! She is a highly qualified medical professional......yes.....a doctor that is highly respected and she was delivering a speech at a Medical Conference!

I just love how the Fiskateer Community brings crafters from all over the world together via it's on-line highway........it's such a fun place to hang out.....if you would like to join the FISKATEERS just click on the blinkie on the lefthand sidebar and it will take you there....it's free....it's fun...and it's FISKARS!

Take the time to PAMPER YOU

Our life as a Woman, Mother or Grandmother can get hectic.    There is always never ending jobs to be done on a daily basis.  But this week I want you to take the time to PAMPER YOU...

I try and do this one a week.  Total Bliss and me time.  It rejuvenates, relaxes and completely takes me to another place if only for 30minutes or an hour.  I know being on water restrictions is hard but i do recycle, i usually just add more water after the kids have finished..I also use the bath water every night on the garden..

I light candles, burn oils ,usually lavender, and turn the light off.  I fill my bath with Lux indulgent bubbles I also have my ipod on plugged into speakers...Totally ME time...

I only wish i could do this every night......

Take the time to Spoil you.. You deserve it!!!!

PAPERIFIC IS TERRIFIC

WOW..

A big hello to all the lovely ladies and gents who have stopped by the last twos day and had a play..  Wowee i have been so busy..

The last two days have been full on and it has passed by in a whirlwind.  Everyone is loving the new border punches and of course the never ending question...  I have that but i dont know how to use it  the "ultra shape express"  Well , i never let anyone leave my table until they can master it..  If anyone is still having trouble please click on the left side of this blog.  Tips and ideas, and there will be a sheet for you to printout and have reference to...

Lyn was helping out  Kerrie onThe Scrapbook City Stand for the last two days and it was great to actually work with her.  she is also very tired...  huge thanks to Lyn for your help...

Ok i have no pics but i will take my camera tommorow and get some for you all to share in the excitment of our show is here in Victoria.  This venue is fantastic, spacious  but today just a little hot.. But when you have over 1000 peole in a venue you can expect that..

Enjoy the rest of the weekend everyone..

Sarah (one tired little Fisk a teer)
